The Moon – before the eclipse

Well seeing as my galaxy imaging has been interrupted by a beautiful full moon, I decided to take a shot of the moon. If you’re not already aware of it, we’re expecting an eclipse tomorrow night – about 3am (GMT) Thursday morning. Of course I’m forecast a cloudy night but here’s hoping its clear.

I’ve never got really serious about a full moon shot before, deep sky objects are more my thing, but tonight I took much care using the 40D’s live view to focus really accurately and then took a batch of shots because I was chasing the seeing somewhat. I also used the 40D ‘Highlight Priority’ mode, seems to work well. Anyway I picked what seemed to be the clearest exposure & processed it in Photoshop & voila. A nice change really.

A personal wish

It is my hope that by photographing some of the wonders of nature, others might share in my enjoyment of these precious sights; perhaps also coming to value the natural world enough to save it from destruction by mankind.
